ORPHANED LAND Vocalist Issues New Album Update

July 29, 2008

Kobi Farhi, vocalist of Israel's ORPHANED LAND, has issued the following statement regarding the status of the band's highly anticipated follow-up to 2004's "Mabool" as well as the group's participation in the upcoming documentary "Global Metal", the new documentary from directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films ("Metal: A Headbanger's Journey"):

"We are happy to inform you that the writing process of our long-awaited album 'The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR' is about to end soon. We have more than 90 minutes of written music. We don't like to repeat ourselves, so do not expect a 'Mabool Vol. 2'! Of course, the female vocals and the oriental instruments will be there as always, but 'ORwarriOR' is different and I can say for sure that it is more extreme, powerful and less progressive. Still, like all our albums, it is ORPHANED LAND and you'll all notice that. Watch out for the first single, which is the opener of the album called: 'Sapari'. We are also doing the arrangements to finalise the artwork and dates for recordings and production later this year, and we are still looking for the right drummer to fill in for the album.

"On another matter, ORPHANED LAND appears in Sam Dunn's new documentary 'Global Metal', along with METALLICA, SLAYER, SEPULTURA, X JAPAN and more, the film is a journey which is exploring the metal scenes in some rather exotic regions of the world, like for example in Dubai, Indonesia, China, Israel etc."

Fan-filmed video footage of ORPHANED LAND's April 12, 2008 performance at club Tochka in Moscow, Russia can be viewed below. Photos from the concert are available at The MetalList.

Kobi Farhi is currently working on his debut book called "A Tango Between God & Satan". The book will contain personal stories and adventures from Kobi's childhood, from his world travels, and, of course, some stories from his adventures with ORPHANED LAND.
